The first night we spent on the esplanade right above Indian Hollow Canyon. The next day our route went straight down into Indian Hallow to Jumpup Canyon. There was some scrambling over some boulders and a swimming hole in Indian Hollow. We went down Jumpup Canyon to Kanab Creek where we spent the night on an island at the confluence of Jumpup and Kanab. From this point up to an area called the ledges the water is contaminated with old uranium tailings. Although half way between the confluence there is a water source at the bottom of crack baby canyon which can give you enough water to make it to the next water source. In between Crack Baby Canyon there is a sweet side hike up a side canyon that has petroglyphs and pictographs all over. After spending a night at the ledges we hiked cross country to the nail trail leading us to seasonal watersource. Highlights of this trail are one indian ruin which had shards here and there and petroglyphs near the ruin. This night we had slept near a drainage where we were visited by a tarantula and a few scorpions. Moving on the next day we headed into back towards Sowats Point which if I remember correctly we ended up walking through a few different canyons and left Jumpup Canyon for the last canyon of the trip and headed to a rock formation at the bottom of Sowats Point called the space station for our last night. Kanab Creek is a magical area to explore and is a mirror for self reflection. |
